A very good drama in "Sirens"

Greetings dear friends, it is my first time in this community that I really like its growth and the good work of the moderation. Thanks for creating this space for lovers of series and movies. This day I want to tell you about a series, although it is more like a recommendation, I do not want to give you too many spoilers because I do not like me and if you want to be surprised and enjoy properly, it is good to see things with surprises (laughs).

So in my unattainable search to find on Netflix or any other movie or series platform, some entertainment that makes us have a good time, I must confess that I am now after seeing so many installments a little picky and I'm not to watch many series or movies with a lot of drama. So when I saw the cover of this series called "Sirens" its protagonist was the first thing that caught my attention, we have great personalities among them the super actress who is very well preserved at her age Julianne Moore who plays the character of "Michaela", we also see Meghann Fahy her character is called "Devon" and finally my favorite Milly Alcock who is called "Simone" wow what a great job she did, this girl is a promise in acting with only 25 years old and nothing more and nothing less than the super legend actor Kevin Bacon (Peter). This mini series I would classify as drama comedy and black humor, it premiered recently in May 2025 and has 5 episodes.

I didn't have much faith in this mini series because of the aura that its sypnosis gave me, I don't like to see trailers because I feel that they say a lot of things about the series and it takes away the curiosity and the charm a little of that emotion or intrigue when starting to watch a series or movie. So I decided to watch the series without expecting anything and without many expectations, it started a little strange, with things that actually bored me a little, I must say that it was slow for my taste, I liked the editing, the scenery is seen that it was invested in it and of course with the stature of actors who had I'm sure that a good amount of money was invested in the creation. I watched the first chapter in 2 parts, it really bored me. But I decided to give it a chance and the truth is that I was surprised, it is not to be underestimated, it was a matter of time that this series will give us something unexpected and those human behaviors that we will never understand but I am very real.

This is how 2 girls with a hard and dysfunctional childhood, a father with senile dementia who depends on a lot of assistance and care and a somewhat precarious life, there is a lot of lack of economic resources and this has been a very serious problem in all their lives, plus they have no mother figure and this has a hard past and that is why she has died. The series begins with Devon the older sister with a job as a waitress who has a list of toxic relationships around her, one weekend I decided to look for her sister who has gone to an island and needs help with his father.

After her trip she manages to get her in a mansion full of luxuries and many strange things according to her (Devon), Simone works for a woman named Michaela who they both feel a strong connection and there is a full trust between them, things that don't look good to Devon, I think more than doubts and fear about her sister being in an abusive place it was like some kind of jealousy, since it wasn't like that with her being her own sister. I think, for Devon, it was difficult for her to get her dream job and she will just stay at home taking care of her sick dad, that's where a series of events begins that without a doubt awakened my intrigue and my desire that without a doubt this series did have a different and interesting plot.

I feel that it started slow, with some unnecessary drama or dialogues, a strong fight and if perhaps it can be very shocking for people to see the end of everything and know that this is simply how people are, we like to be well and we decide based on our needs and priorities and sometimes there are people who take anyone with them in order to achieve or not lose where they got to.

It is a series a little satire, also raw with a wonderful natural scenery, recorded on an island with a mansion that leaves you perplexed, use pastel colors that makes you get caught in all that good visual taste, I recommend it and I'm sure you will like it.
